"Only?" greet Erika.
Alex's daydreams instantly vanished when he saw Erika there.
"Oh. You, Eri." said Alex.
Erika is approaching Alex. He also stood behind an iron fence looking at the street from the top of the company rooftop.
"Now!" Erika offers a cup of coffee to Alex. Before boarding, he accidentally buys two coffees knowing Alex is there.
"Thank you." Alex accepts Erika's gift with pleasure.
"Welcome back, yes!" said Erika.
Alex smiled at his clumsy smile. He felt guilty for the woman standing next to him.
They have been friends for a long time. He knew how Erika felt about him. The woman loves herself. However, many times he ignored and pretended not to care. He even got engaged to another woman just for the sake of launching his intention to defeat Alan.
Different things Erika showed him. Although she had done a lot wrong, Erika remained by her side. The woman pretended not to know about her mistake. Erika also often visited him in detention without discussing the problems he was facing.
Erika decides to move to the Narendra Group company to stay close to Alex. However, Alex himself deliberately distanced himself from the people.
"I heard that you were placed as operational director" Erika said.
Alex nodded. "I also didn't know that Papa would put me there."
"That fits into your area of expertise, Lex. We'll also meet often because I'll be your secretary. Hopefully you won't be fed up later" joked Erika.
Alex laughed a little. "Why should I be fed up? I'd rather work with someone I've known for a long time."
Erika sipped coffee in her hand. "You take it easy, Lex. I'm not going to be the Erika who bothers you like I used to be" he said.
Indeed, from Erika's style of speech that now sounds more elegant than before. Erika seems to be growing up in her mind.
"Why are you still here? Didn't your father want you to quickly return to his company?" ask Alex.
"I like it here. Papa also seemed to have given up on seducing me. Now I am free to choose work anywhere," replied Erika.
At first Erika worked there because of Alex. However, Alex shows no signs of interest in Erika at all. Even Alex once said he was only interested in his work.
"What about Alan's brother?" ask Erika.
Alex recalled the incident in the meeting room today. "Maybe like your prediction. Alan's brother is still angry with me," he said.
"Patience, the human heart can change. As long as you show determination to improve, I think Brother Alan will be easy to forgive you."
"Your existence won't be the same as it used to be, Lex. Many doubted you. I hope you can deal with it with a big chest."
Alex nodded. "I have prepared my mind to accept the consequences of my actions. Whatever it is, I'll do it to fix everything."
Erika was relieved by the high confidence Alex had. "It turns out Mr. Vito was a wise man. Thank God you have a father like him."
Alex smiled at me. "What my father is doing right now is actually also to make amends for his mistakes in the past. You know that I'm his bastard son with another woman" he said.
"Alex! You can't talk like that!" erika Reprimand.
"Haha ... Sorry, I'm slipping."
Both of them enjoy coffee again while looking at the atmosphere of the road below.
"A long time ago we didn't have fun to the nightclub. Will you go with me tonight?" bring Erika.
"Hey, since when do you like to play in places like that?" ask Alex in shock.
"Haha ... Aren't you the one who used to take me there?" said Erika.
Alex is the head of Erika. "Neighbor! I'm taking you there just for business, not to waste time!" resounding.
"Haha ... Since you've been busy with yourself, I don't have any more friends. That's why I'm looking for a friend there" Erika said.
Erika's eyes couldn't lie. He was hiding the sadness behind his feigned carefree behavior.
"Later in the evening there will be a dinner at home. Do you want to come?" ask Alex.
"Hm, I used to be so afraid to come there because there was a grandfather. But, what if now I come it's not strange? We're not going out" said Erika.
Alex feels like what Erika said has a point. All this time people thought the two had a special relationship so close. In fact, they are just friends.
"It's okay, just come. Just a regular dinner. You know my family, too" Alex said.
"Eum, can I think about it later. If I don't have a show, I'll come. All I want is to be acquainted with your mother" replied Erika.
"She's just my mom, not my real mom" Alex recalled.
"Yes, yeah, I know. But, you're still one family!" kilah Erika's. "Ah, yes. I haven't seen Irene in a long time either. She how are you, huh? When he got married I didn't get to come."
At that time Erika had affairs abroad. He missed the wedding moment Irene who eventually married one of the sons of relief Narendra.
"She now lives with Alan's sister after marriage. That's why I think Irene will come too. I mean, if Alan's brother doesn't forbid it."
